Richard Sherman takes to Twitter to address Seahawks trade talk

At least that’s the case as it applies to the recent Richard Sherman trade talk.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider went on the “Brock and Salk” radio show on 710 ESPN Seattle this morning and discussed rumors regarding Sherman. And it turns out they weren’t rumors at all.

John Schneider to "Brock and Salk" on the Richard Sherman situation: "What you've seen lately in the news is real. That's on both sides."

The conversation continued between the two, as one person commented Sherman wouldn’t be good without safety Earl Thomas behind him. Monson quickly dismissed that logic with Sherman once again chiming in regarding the subject.

@PFF_Sam That's just the excuse of ppl who don't understand ball. Have no idea how it actually works.

Sherman, 29, isn’t usually one to be vocal about trade chatter. Last week, the four-time Pro Bowler brushed off the idea that the Seahawks could potentially part ways with him.

“I just laugh it off, man,” Sherman said to ESPN. “It’s funny to me. But sometimes people need to see you gone to realize what you had. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. But I don’t let things like that bother me. The chips will fall how they’re supposed to.”

It appears things have taken a turn since then. While no trade partners have emerged . . . yet, the Boston Herald reported the New England Patriots could be interested.

With the draft less than four weeks away, the Seahawks should expect their phones to be busy.
